Episode 58: Stuck in Self-Doubt? Reclaim Your Leadership SWAG

Let's Think About It Podcast

Episode Summary

When was the last time you felt off your game—not burned out, but just off? In this solo episode, Coach Mo breaks down how high-achieving leaders drift into autopilot, self-doubt, and overthinking…and how to reclaim what he calls your SWAG: Self-awareness, Why-power, Aligned actions, and Grit. Through the story of one anxious executive prepping for a high-stakes presentation, you’ll hear how mindset, energy, and intention create real confidence. If you're leading from fear instead of fire, this episode gives you a practical, repeatable path to get back in alignment.

🔑 Key Takeaways

• SWAG Is Your Inner Armor: True leadership starts with energy, intention, and alignment—not titles or tactics.
• Fear vs. Fire: Your inner critic thrives when you lead on autopilot. Shifting to “fire” means leading with values, purpose, and conviction.
• Confidence Comes From Clarity: When your why is clear, your actions align—and your grit returns.
• No Applause Needed: One of the strongest forms of grit? Doing the hard thing even when no one notices.
• A 4-Question Reset: Reclaim your SWAG daily with these:
  • What’s my energy like today?
  • What’s my why for this work?
  • What’s one aligned action I can take?
  • Where have I shown grit this week, even without applause?
